Prestige Collection Methode Traditionelle NV

Non Vintage Brut, Chardonnay/Pinot Noir Blend.

Hawke’s Bay has a long history of being able to produce many styles of wine to a very high quality. Sparkling wine is no exception with some of the finest examples yet produced in New Zealand coming from this region.

With a non-vintage blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, we are looking to deliver a consistent taste and flavour profile. We are looking for the wine to display freshness and purity on the nose, with only a hint of the bready complexity that will unfold on the palate. With the use of base wine beginning from the 2009 vintage and extended bottle aging sur-lie, we are encouraging the secondary and tertiary flavours that are critical in the production of wine that is intended to match the great sparkling wines of the world in flavour, intensity, complexity and length.

Winemakers description

Crafted using traditional methods with base wine dating back to 2009 and aged on yeast lees for up to 48 months. Complex toast and citrus fruit notes leading to a creamy, fresh palate, the presence of fine mousse and cleansing acidity delivers an elegantly dry and memorable finish.
